User : I began taking 50mg of Zoloft in 2007. Over the past 3.5 years, I have had to steadily increase the dose in order to achieve the same results. I am now on 200mg, and I am beginning to feel depressed again. I'm rather anxious about the prospect of switching medications, but at the same time, I don't want to continue taking more and more Zoloft. Is it common for them to stop working over time?
Doctor : Hi
User : Hello.
Doctor : let me read ur qwery
Doctor : yes
Doctor : over time antidepressants effect tends to wear off
User : So do people just have to take more and more or constantly switch medications?
Doctor : switching of medications is done as needed and if there are side effects
User : From what I understand, 200 mg of Zoloft is the "maximum dose". Does this mean I need to switch to a different one?
Doctor : is he having any side effect with that dose ?
User : No I'm not. It just doesn't seem to be working anymore.
Doctor : in that case, you need a change of medication or an addition of medications to your zoloft dose
Doctor : are u there ?
Doctor : it seems that u have moved out of the chat window
Doctor : please log in if u have any medical query
Doctor : bye for now
